Hip 18 looks like American Gal was fed a diet of exclusively lemons while carrying it.

348 is a good-sized, handsome grey Tapit. Has quite a presence about him. I'd buy him. $525,000.

Is it just me, or does Into Mischief throw a lot of foals with Gulastra Plume?

MV Magnier is Coolmore right? So if they paid $1.2 mil for a colt that is wonky they must see something we don't :lol:

Yeah, I was going to say, that War Front colt was clearly going through an awkward phase.

And we've had this discussion on this board in the past, though maybe some of you are newer and missed it - but you don't get the whole picture from one conformation pic. I think seeing the video of them moving helps a good deal, but unless we see them in person, a photo can be deceiving. I highly doubt anyone is spending $1.2M on a yearling that is going to fall apart at any second. I'm guessing he looks nicer in person AND has a decent physical.
